Sleep Walking

How is one able to sleepwalk and enact a dream without even knowing it? I have already sleepwalked , sleep studied (amazing huh? i got an 'A' for that paper) and sleep eaten.My parents saw me & let the episode pass and I cannot recall even a moment.

The states of consciousness and unconsciousness are not on/off. Nor is memory storage and recall.

When sleepwalking, parts of your brain are perceiving and acting (even on knowledge, such as 'where is the door'). Not remembering can merely be a matter of short-circuting the memory-storage mechanism.

We're so used to everything in our brains working tickety-boo we forget that it's pretty kludgy.
